Set options for modeling drag for the HPOP propagator.
HPOP <ObjectPath> Drag {DragState} <Coeff> <AreaMassRatio> {"AtmDensModel"}
The HPOP Drag command allows you to set drag model options for propagating a satellite's or missile's orbit using the high-precision orbit propagator (HPOP) module.
This command is valid for Satellites and Missiles.
{DragState} can be On or Off.
If {DragState} is On enter <Coeff>, <AreaMassRatio> and {"AtmDensModel"}.
<Coeff> is a real number between -100.0 and 100.0.
<AreaMassRatio> is a real number between 0.0 and 9999.0, and is entered in m^2/kg.
Valid values for {"AtmDensModel"} and their associated <Parameters> are outlined in the following Table. The table also lists the object(s) for which each model is valid. Only atmosphere models that are valid to the ground can be used for missiles.
If {DragState} is Off, no other values should be entered.
| {"AtmDensModel"} | <Parameters> | Valid for: |
|---|---|---|
| "Harris-Priester" | Additional values can be set manually
or via a flux/geomag file:
|
Satellite, Missile |
| "1976 Standard" | N/A | Satellite, Missile |
| "Jacchia 1960" | N/A | Satellite, Missile |
| "Jacchia 1971" | Additional values can be set manually
or via a flux/geomag file:
|
Satellite |
| "Jacchia 1970" | Satellite | |
| "Jacchia-Roberts" | Satellite | |
| "CIRA 1972" | Satellite | |
| "NRLMSISE 2000" | Satellite, Missile | |
| "MSISE 1990" | Satellite, Missile | |
| "MSIS 1986" | Satellite | |
| "<UserModelName>" | "<FilePath>" | Satellite |
<DailyF10.7> and <AverageF10.7> are real numbers between 65 and 275.
<GeoMagIndex> is a real number between 0.0 and 10.0.
Currently, the only valid "<UserModelName>" is "SampleDensFunc"
Note: For this command to be valid, the satellite or missile must already be defined as using the HPOP propagator.
To set additional drag model options, see the HPOP Options command.
